Buchpräsentation Basel
2. November, 14 Uhr
Mit Lecture Performance von Michiel Huijben, findet auf Englisch statt.
In dem Performance-Talk «What Exists is Good» verwendet Michiel Huijben aus Rotterdam seine Sammlung alltäglicher Baumaterialien, um zu untersuchen, wie Erinnerungen in die Oberflächen und Begrenzungen unserer Umgebung eingewoben sind. Indem er Kindheitserinnerungen mit diesen Materialien in Verbindung bringt, verknüpft er das Individuum mit der Architekturgeschichte ab den 1970er Jahren und untersucht, was diese Erinnerungen über die Epoche verraten.
Architekturfotografie II baut auf der 2017 erschienenen Publikation Architekturfotografie auf. Seit deren Veröffentlichung sind zahlreiche neue Aufnahmen zu Bianca Pedrinas Archiv hinzugekommen. Sie entstanden an Orten wie Taipeh, Seoul, Shanghai, Pisa, Andratx, Sofia, Leeds, Glasgow, St. Anton, Colmar, Zagreb, Brünn und Mödling.
Texte von Michiel Huijben ziehen sich wie ein roter Faden durch das Buch und reflektieren die Idee der Grenze. Sie betrachten einige der vielen Möglichkeiten, wie Grenzen und Schwellen unsere Beziehungen sowohl zu unserer Umgebung - gebaut und organisch, historisch und gegenwärtig - als auch zueinander gestalten. Die Publikation stellt daher Momente architektonischer Inkongruenz und das Aufeinandertreffen unterschiedlicher Formen und Zeiten in den Vordergrund. Sie zeigt Reibungen, Unterbrechungen und Kontraste sowie die unvermeidliche Schaffung von etwas Neuem auf.

Curated by Marit Wolters
Is a gallery’s architecture simply the container of the art within it? The exhibition Loose Ends/Unerledigte Dinge contests this simple idea of containment, combining art and architecture in works that explore the unfinished, the maybe, the not yet known and the not clear yet.

Talk with Prof. WANG Guan & Bianca Pedrina
Many architects fear time. They are enthusiastic about their idea and creation, but not about what comes next. Because what comes next is reality. Materials corrode, fungi spread, people lay hands on things and change them. The traces that appear this way we call „patina“. This appearance is not planned, does not come from above, but grows from below. If architecture means authority, patina means anarchy. For architects, it is a loss of substance, a contamination of their idea. In the eyes of the residents, however, it is a gain in freedom and a testimony to its history. For a city without patina may have a place in space, but not in time. (Clemens Espenlaub)

Wiener Szenen und darüber hinaus – Part 2
Invited by Laurenz
With works by Bianca Pedrina and Hiroshi Takizawa
Opening: Thursday, 13 July, 19:00
Exhibition: 14 July - 27 August 2023
Belvedere 21
Arsenalstraße 1
1030 Wien
Laurenz approaches the large group exhibition at Belvedere 21 Wien from a different angle and offers a place to sit, read, rest a bit and have a coffee with sugar, which Hiroshi Takizawa and I designed.
Turns out - last minute - having coffee is not allowed inside the exhibition, but you are invited to take the packets of sugar home with you.
As an addition, I printed a publication that explains why there is a ramp for ducks on my sugar.
„One afternoon, I set out with my camera in and around Belvedere 21. There I discovered sprouting new constructions, rocks covered in sugar crystals, healed terrazzo flooring, a dented elevator, glossy ceilings, as well as duck ramps leading into a pool made by the artist Heimo Zobernig.
The latter made me wonder: Which came first, the ducks or the pond?
The story unfolds as follows:
Tragically, various animals, including squirrels and martens, have drowned in the pool on multiple occasions and it also lacked proper exit and entry aids for ducks, rendering it unusable for them. The safety department employees at Belvedere 21 took preventive measures to address the challenges faced by the animals. Initially, they individually guided the animals out of the pool, and sub-sequently, they placed stones in the narrower section.
However, the powerful waves generated by Thomas Baumann‘s installation, situated within the pool, posed further difficulties for the ducks. Eventually, the former head of building maintenance constructed ramps, which have proven to be remarkably effective. Belvedere 21 staff repeatedly observe ducklings using these walkways."

Dear friends & colleagues!
For our last exhibition before the summer break we have invited Bianca Pedrina from Basel. In her photographic installations, Pedrina deals with architecture and urban development in a way that is as subtle as it is playful. Unlike traditional architectural photography, she does not seek the untouched and well-planned, but rather that which has been improperly transformed by man and nature. Where most see only a loss of quality, Pedrina discovers the possibility of anarchy, higher justice, and humor. For her, the patina appears not as a flaw that must be repaired in order to uncover what is intrinsic, but as a trace that gives things their very reality and truthfulness.
We are looking forward to seeing you all!

Bianca Pedrina
Vernissage: 18. November, 7pm
18. November – 9. December 2022
Kluckyland presents a site-specific photo installation by artist Bianca Pedrina, dedicated to an inconspicuous detail of the exhibition space.
Apparently, a misunderstanding occurred between the planner and the executor during the recent remodeling of the window front of what was originally a 1950s storefront; one of the columns and reveal narrowly miss each other and now meet halfway in the space at a newly created point. The result is a small projection, a miniature pedestal, a small stage.
A number of things can thus be read from this detail within the space: changing regulations in construction and building law, tensions between top-down and bottom-up processes in the planning and use of architecture and urban spaces, as well as aesthetic discourse and possibly a 'Poetics of a Wall Projection'.

101 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria
Opening:
June 4th 2022
Introduction of the Razklon Gallery as the 101st Tourist Site of the renowned initiative "100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria", which is a national movement established in 1966 to promote tourism among Bulgaria's most significant cultural, historic and natural landmarks.
The sites are selected by a variety of organizations and institutions, among them "The Union of Bulgarian Motorists" and "The Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church"
Razklon Gallery is a project by the Tsarino Foundation:
The Tsarino Foundation is an international collective of artists and an architect. While restoring a formerly abandoned village in the Bulgarian Rhodope Mountains, their primary purpose is to function as an art platform.
"Razklon Gallery / Pазклон Галерия is a showcase we constructed by the road to Tsarino, providing 1m3 of exhibition space. It is named after its location by a fork in the road: ‘razklon’ is Bulgarian for ‘split’. The Razklon Gallery presents a new artwork several times a year, made by artists from anywhere in the world. The showcase is located in the midst of nature with the local community, cows and other animals as its primary audience."

Architectural sketches on building fences in Seoul.
These often huge, tall and white plastic panel walls can be found all over South Korea in vast quantities. Like stoic soldiers they guard abandoned construction pits of failed investment projects. They are part of the cityscape. Residents stick their advertisements and pamphlets on these walls and over time, all that’s left are these gaffer tape pieces.

The work was originally made for the façade of Kunsthaus Baselland and is now on the road, since its dismantling in 2015, asking the question of what happens after the ‚death‘ of a site specific work.
During the second Corona Lockdown 2020 in Vienna, Cloud Atlas is enjoying the confinement on its own...

Im Sommer 2015 trat der Cloud Atlas die Reise ins Amsterdamer Studio 47 von Celine Manz an. Dort floss er im den Ausstellungsraum hinein, einzig an seiner Kopfseite aufgerichtet. Zwei Jahre später presste er sich in eines der kleinen Zimmer von Villa Renata in Basel und verbrachte den lauen Sommer dort. Zuletzt hing er im frühen 2020 über einer postmodernistischen Betonwand in Tourcoing bei Lille, organisiert von Marine Alibert.
